Family Home - Night
As the girl leads the clown down the hallway, Dean and Sam are already hiding in wait, weapons ready.
"Wanna see Mommy and Daddy? They're upstairs". The little girl said.
Sam leaps out and grabs the girl, who starts screaming, as Dean shoots the clown in the chest. It falls on its back, then gets up as Dean is cocking the shotgun again.
"Sam, watch out!" Dean called to his brother.
The clown leaps out the window, turning invisible as it runs away. The parents come rushing out.
"What's going on here? Get away from my-" The father shouted.
"Oh my god, what are you doing to my daughter?!" The mother screamed.
"Who the hell are you? Get out! Get out of my house!" The father yelled.
Dean and Sam leave the girl and run away terribly fast.
"Mommy, Daddy, they shot my clown!" The little girl cried.
Bobby's house
Bobby was fast asleep in his room while the twin were wide awake after they talked so Max had went to his sister's room quietly, when Haley had heard the door open to her room and she saw her brother she had gotten up.
"Max what are you doing here?" Haley asked.
"I wanted to say i was sorry i didn't mean to snap at you like that it's just after everything that happened i don't like talking about it". Max said.
"I'm sorry too i thought if we just talk about it that it will help us move on with our new lives here with Uncle Bobby, Dean, and Sam, i mean they should know the truth Max". Haley said.
"The truth? Hales we told the truth before and we almost got put away for it nobody'll believe us i'm surprised Uncle Bobby believed us". Max said.
"He knows more about this than we do Maxie so do Dean and Sam, they'll believe us i'm sure of it". Haley said.
"When they come back we'll tell them. Everything". Max said.
"It'll be different this time Maxie I'm sure of it". Haley said.
"And how are you sure of it?" Max asked.
"Because I'm the smart twin and you're just the over protective one". Haley said.
"Do you think Dean and Sam will accept us?" Max asked.
"I think they will you saw them when we met them". Haley said.
"I don't want us to go back Hales I don't". Max said.
"We won't go back they won't let us". Haley said.
"I hope your right". Max muttered.
Back road - Day
Dean and Sam have parked the minivan off the side of a road and are digging out their belongings - including the license plates.
"You really think they saw our plates?" Sam asked.
"I don't wanna take the chance. Besides, I hate this friggin' thing anyway". Dean replied.
They start walking down the road.
"Well, one thing's for sure". Dean said.
"What's that?" Sam asks.
"We're not dealing with a spirit. I mean, that rock salt hit something solid". Dean replies.
"Yeah, a person? Or maybe a creature that can make itself invisible?" Sam asks.
"Yeah, and dresses up like a clown for kicks? Did it say anything in Dad's journal?" Dean questioned.
"Nope". Sam answered.
Sam clears throat, pulls out his cell phone
"Who are you calling?" Dean questioned.
"Maybe Ellen or that guy Ash'll know something. Hey, you think, uh, you think Dad and Ellen ever had a thing?" Sam asked.
"No way". Dean said.
"Then why didn't he tell us about her? And why not tell us about the twins?"
"I don't know, maybe they had some sort of falling out. And I don't know". Dean answered.
"Yeah. You ever notice Dad had a falling out with just about everybody?" Sam asked.
Dean nods casually; Sam lowers the phone.
"Well, don't get all maudlin on me, man".
"What do you mean?" Dean asked confused.
"I mean this "strong silent" thing of yours, it's crap". Sam said.
"Oh, god". Dean complained.
"I'm over it. This isn't just anyone we're talking about, this is Dad. I know how you felt about the man". Sam pointed out.
"You know what, back off, all right? Just because I'm not caring and sharing like you want me to". Dean shot.
"No, no, no, that's not what this is about, Dean. I don't care how you deal with this. But you have to deal with it, man. Listen, I'm your brother, all right? I just want to make sure you're okay".
"Dude, I'm okay. I'm okay, okay? I swear, the next person who asks me if I'm okay, I'm gonna start throwing punches. These are your issues, quit dumping them on me!" Dean yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"I just think it's really interesting, this sudden obedience you have to Dad. It's like, oh, what would Dad want me to do? Sam, you spent your entire life slugging it out with that man. I mean, hell, you, you picked a fight with him the last time you ever saw him. And now that he's dead, now you want to make it right? Well, I'm sorry Sam, but you can't, it's too little, too late". Dean shot again.
"Why are you saying this to me?" Sam asked hurt.
"Because I want you to be honest with yourself about this. I'm dealing with Dad's death! Are you?" Dean questioned angrily.
Sam swallows, looks upset.
"I'm going to call Ellen".
Bobby's house
The twins had slept in a little but woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon so they had quickly got dressed going down stairs to see Bobby placing two plates at the table with orange juice he then glanced over to see the twins.
"Well i was just about to come and wake you two breakfast is ready". Bobby said.
The two had gotten up in the chairs and started eating but slowly.
"So why don't you two tell me more about yourselves". Bobby said.
"Well we are ten minutes apart I'm the oldest of us". Max said.
"We saw our dad sometimes he came to see us every now and then". Haley said.
"Did he ever tell you guys about what he did?" Bobby asked.
"We asked but he never told us then a couple years ago we came to see us, he said something about if anything strange starts that we should find Dean and Sam or you he gave us your numbers but since we didn't have a phone we couldn't call so one night we waited up till our foster mom went to sleep to sneak out and find you". Haley asked.
"Did anything strange start happening?" Bobby asked.
The twins looked at each other then back at the older hunter. "One day my head started hurting really bad and i saw something happen like a vision or something it stopped after a couple of minutes". Haley said.
"I was able to get people to do what I said". Max said with a shaky voice.
"Max it's ok you can tell him". Haley said.
"Tell me what?" Bobby asked.
"The night that we left our foster mom she didn't go to sleep, I told her to take some sleeping pills and go to sleep. I basically told her to kill herself and she did. We were just tired of her hurting us, we wanted it to stop". Max said now crying.
Haley hated to see her brother cry and it was rare that he did cry so she got up and hugged him. "We didn't mean to hurt anyone all we wanted was for it to stop". Haley added.
Later
Further down the road, Sam is hanging up the phone.
"Thanks a lot". Sam said on the phone. He then turned to his brother and said, "Rakshasa".
"What's that? Dean asked.
"Ellen's best guess. It's a race of ancient Hindu creatures. They appear in human form, they feed on human flesh, they can make themselves invisible, and they cannot enter a home without first being invited". Sam explained.
"So they dress up like clowns, and the children invite 'em in". Dean pointed out.
"Yeah". Sam agreed.
"Why don't they just munch on the kids?" Dean asked.
"No idea. Not enough meat on the bones, maybe?" Sam said.
"What else'd you find out?" Dean asked.
"Well, apparently, Rakshasas live in squalor. They sleep on a bed of dead insects". Sam continued.
"Nice". Dean said disgusted.
"Yeah, and they have to feed a few times every twenty or thirty years. Slow metabolism, I guess". Sam said.
"Well, that makes sense. I mean, the Carnival today, the Bunker Brothers in '81". Dean pointed out.
"Right. Probably more before that". Sam said.
"Hey Sam, who do we know that worked both shows?" Dean asked.
"Cooper?" Sam asked.
"Cooper". Dean confirmed.
"You know, that picture of his father, that looked just like him". Sam said remembering back.
"You think maybe it was him?" Dean asked.
"Well, who knows how old he is?" Sam replied.
"Ellen say how to kill him?" Dean asks.
"Legend goes, a dagger made of pure brass". Sam answered.
"I think I know where to get one of those". Dean commented.
"Well, before we go stabbing things into Cooper, we're going to want to make damn sure it's him" Sam said.
"Oh, you're such a stickler for details, Sammy." They smile at each other. "All right, I'll round up the blade, you go check if Cooper's got bedbugs".
"So what do you think of the idea of having a little brother and sister?" Sam asked.
"I'm still wrapping my head around it but it might be like having two of you again except one's a girl". Dean said.
"Do you think dad didn't tell us about the twins to protect them?" Sam asks.
"He could have I mean he didn't want this for us but here we are and I'm pretty sure that he didn't want them in this life so he could have done it to protect them". Dean replied.
"What if they are like us Dean?" Sam asks a bit scared.
"Like us how?" Dean asked.
"No mom because of the demon, no nomarl life, they'll be forced to be on the road all the time". Sam said.
"We can deal with that when we get back to Bobby's but for now let's get back to work alright". Dean said.
"Alright". Sam said.
Bobby's house
The older hunter had looked shocked at what Max had said. "Alright calm down Max I'm not mad alright just calm down".
The young boy had stopped crying and that turned to sniffing he looked over at Bobby who gave him a small smile.
"Max it was an accident alright I know you didn't want that to happen but you've got to calm down". Bobby said.
"H-how do you know?" Max hiccuped.
"Because when I was a little older than the two of you my father was abusive towards me and my mother so I took a shot gun and I killed him". Bobby said.
"You killed your own father?" Haley asked.
"I did what i had to do so i can protect myself and my mother". Bobby said.
"I just don't want to go away". Max said.
"You won't as long as you don't say anything or tell anybody". Bobby said.
"What about Dean and Sam?" Max asked.
"I'll deal with them idjits". Bobby said.
Carnival - Night
Sam picks the lock on Cooper's trailer and goes inside. Elsewhere, the Blind Man is leading Dean.
"Well, I've got all kinds of knives. I don't know if I've got a brass one, though". The blind man said.
In Cooper's trailer, Sam pulls out a pocket knife and starts slicing open the mattress. A shotgun cocks behind him; Cooper is there, pointing the gun at him.
"What do you think you're doing?" Cooper asked.
In Blind man's trailer, he leads Dean in and taps a trunk with his cane.
"Check the trunk". The blind man said.
Dean opens the trunk and finds a red clown wig. He pauses, stands.
"You?" Dean asked confused.
The blind man drops his cane, pulls off his glasses; his eyes look normal. Me. His eyes get cloudy, his face begins to melt. He waves, then his face disappears, cheshire-cat style with his eyes glowing last.
Dean struggles with the door in the blind man's trailer, trying to get out. A knife flies past his head to bury in the door. He jumps. Another lands with a thunk a little higher.
"All right!" Dean yells.
He manages to get the door open and books it out of there, tumbling. Outside, Sam sees him.
"Hey!" Sam calls out.
"Hey". Dean replies back.
"So, Cooper thinks I'm a Peeping Tom, but it's not him". Sam said.
"Yeah, so I gathered. It's the blind guy. He's here somewhere". Dean said.
"Well, did you get the -" Sam started but was cut off by his brother.
"The brass blades? No. No, it's just been one of those days". Dean said.
"I got an idea. Come on". Sam said as they make their way to the fun house.
They enter the funhouse; as they go through, a door slams between them. They struggle to open it.
"Sam!" Dean called.
"Dean! Dean, find the maze, okay?" Sam said.
Sam finds a pipe organ, which is giving off steam. He grabs for one of the pipes, but it's too hot. "Gah!" Sam says, flinching from the heat. He takes something from his pocket and starts pulling off a pipe. Dean comes around the corner.
"Hey". Dean says.
"Hey! Where is it?" Sam asked.
"I don't know, I mean, shouldn't we see its clothes walking around?" Dean asked.
A knife flies past Dean, pinning his sleeve to the wall. Another one pins his wrist.
"Sam!" Dean yells
Sam pulls the pipe all the way off and stalks forward slowly. A knife flies past his head; he dodges.
"Dean, where is he?" Sam asked panicked.
"I don't know!" Dean exclaimed.
Dean reaches up and pulls a lever; more steam pours from the pipe organ, giving a vague shape to the invisible attacker, which Dean sees.
"Sam, behind you! Behind you!" Dean called to his brother.
SAM stabs the pipe behind him without looking. He turns and sees it buried in the still-invisible creature, blood pouring from the wound. Dean manages to free himself. They look to where it's fallen and see only empty clothes and a bloody pipe.
"I hate fun houses". Dean said.
Roadhouse Saloon - Day
Dean and Sam are sitting at the bar; Ellen lays down a couple of beers.
"You boys did a hell of a job. Your dad'd be proud". Ellen said.
"Thanks". Sam said
Jo, sitting down on the other side of Dean, gives Sam a look.
"Oh yeah, um, I've gotta... uh, uh, I've gotta go. Over there. Right now". Sam stuttered.
"So" Jo starts but clears throat.
"So". Dean replies.
"Am I gonna see you again?" Jo asks.
"Do you want to?" Dean replied.
"I wouldn't hate it". Jo said.
"Hmm. Can I be honest with you? See, normally I'd be hitting on you so fast it'd make your head spin. But, uh, these days... I don't know". Dean said.
"Wrong place, wrong time?" She says, pointing at her mom
"Yeah. Plus I got a lot to do when i see the twins". Dean says.
"It's okay, I get it". Jo said with a smile.
The back door opens and Ash enters, carrying the folder and a bizarre looking laptop.
"Where you guys been? Been waitin' for ya". Ash said.
"We were working a job, Ash. Clowns?" Sam replied.
"Clowns? What the -" Ash said but was cut off.
"You got something for us, Ash?" Dean asked changing the subject.
Ash sets the laptop down on a table. It looks homemade, with exposed wiring.
"Did you find the demon?" Sam asked.
ASH
"It's nowhere around. At least, nowhere I can find. But if this fugly bastard raises his head, I'll know. I mean, I'm on it like Divine on dog dookie". Ash says.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked a bit confused.
"I mean, any of those signs or omens appear, anywhere in the world, my rig'll go off. Like a fire alarm". Ash replies.
Dean reaches for the laptop.
"Do you mind..." Dean says
Ash gives him a look. Dean pulls his hand back from the keyboard. Yeah.
"What's up, man?" Ash asks Sam.
"Ash, where did you learn to do all this?" Sam asked.
"M.I.T. Before I got bounced for... fighting". Ash answered.
"M.I.T.?" Sam asks.
"It's a school in Boston". Ash clarified.
"Okay. Give us a call as soon as you know something?" Dean piped in.
"Si, si, compadre". Ash replied in Spanish.
"Ash were you able to find anything on the twins?" Sam asks.
"Maxwell John Winchester and Haley Faith Winchester, born on October 30, 1994 to John Winchester and Marie Jackson. She died when the twins were 6 months old they lived with their grandparents till they died then was placed in foster care and been around since. John's been trying to get custody of them for a while but he never met the requirements, one time while the twins were about six he tried for visitation and almost got arrested by trying to take them. And according to this their last foster mother died overdosed on sleeping pills". Ash explained.
"Does it say how their mother died?" Sam asked probably knowing the answer.
"Yeah their mother died in a fire the night they turned six months old, according to this your father ran inside got them out but couldn't save their mother". Ash continued.
"Thanks man". Sam said.
"No problemo" Ash said.
Dean takes another sip of his beer, then sets it down. Ash picks it up and drinks. Dean and Sam head for the door.
"Hey, listen - if you boys need a place to stay I've got a couple beds out back". Ellen offered.
"Thanks, but no. There's something I gotta finish". Dean declined politely.
"Okay. Take care of the twins and tell them we say hi". Ellen said.
"We will". Sam said.
Junkyard - Day
The twins were excited to see that their brothers were home so they went out to the junkyard and stood there while Dean starts working on the car again, and Sam pacing nearby.
"Are you ok Sam?" Haley asked.
"You were right". Sam said to Dean.
"About what?" Dean asked.
"About me and Dad. I'm sorry that the last time I was with him I tried to pick a fight. I'm sorry that I spent most of my life angry at him. I mean, for all I know he died thinking that I hate him. So you're right. What I'm doing right now, it's too little. It's too late I miss him, man. And I feel guilty as hell. And I'm not all right. Not at all. But neither are you. That much I know". Sam said with his lip trembling and tears in his eyes.
"I'll let you get back to work. Come on guys let's go get some lunch now". Sam said.
Sam and the twins leave. Dean is still for a moment. He picks up a crowbar and smashes the window of a nearby car. Then he starts slamming it into the trunk of his own car, over and over. It clatters to the ground, and Dean looks after where Sam and the twins has gone, lip trembling.
Once he was finished outside he had went back inside to see the twins on the couch hugging each other close while Sam stood in the kitchen making lunch for everyone he then decided to go over to the twins who were silently crying.
"You guys ok?" Dean asked.
"We miss dad". Max said sadly.
"So do I but i want you guys to listen, don't be afraid to tell Sam or I anything. We won't judge you or anything you guys can come to us anytime day or night if you wanna talk". Dean said.
Haley was the first to move and she caught Dean in a surprise hug but he wrapped his arms around her then he opened his left arm and motioned for Max to join in the hug soon he held both his younger siblings then kissed their heads.
"I'm glad we got you guys now". Dean whispered.
Sam looked from the kitchen with a new round of tears in his eyes as he looked at his siblings.
"Sammy come join the hug". Haley said.
The middle Winchester chuckled but went over and they all had one big family hug. "Welcome to the family guys".
